Hemispherical Omnidirectional Gimbaled Drive

Thanks for resurrecting this! Now I want to casually slip the word Hemispherical Omnidirectional Gimbaled Drive into normal conversation and see how people react!

Try using HOG drive instead. Not only does it come off the tongue a little easier but it sounds like a 1902 fundraiser.

I believe the main issue with this drive system will be the motor attached to the hemispherical section. Compared to the weight of the robot in the video (and most other HOG drive robots I have seen) the drive motor is simply massive. I'm not sure a CIM motor would be a viable powersource.
